Christo and Jeanne Claude: Through the Gates and Beyond

CHRISTO AND JEANNE-CLAUDE UNWRAPPEDIn 1981 two artists -- Christo and Jeanne-Claude -- proposed an installation in New York's Central Park that would span twenty-three miles. They received a 185-page response from the Parks Department that could have been summed up in one single word: "no." But they persisted. This biography of contemporary artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude is a story of the power of collaboration, and vision, and of the creation of the spectacular Gates and other renowned artworks.Greenberg, Jan is the author of 'Christo and Jeanne Claude: Through the Gates and Beyond', published 2008 under ISBN 9781596430716 and ISBN 1596430710.
